Overview

Sexual and gender minority youth (i.e., LGBTQ+ individuals) are at elevated risk for suicidal thoughts compared to cisgender/heterosexual youth and there is increased demand for programs and treatments tailored to this population. The current study seeks to pilot a brief, online, self-guided intervention for suicidal thoughts designed for sexual and gender minority youth to test if this intervention is acceptable to this population and if completing this intervention significantly decreases suicidal thoughts.

Detailed description

The current study will pilot an intervention for suicidal thoughts in sexual and gender minority youth. We will recruit of a sample of sexual and gender minority youth who report experiencing recent thoughts of suicide. Participants will be asked to complete a battery of questionnaires including demographic questions and mental health symptom assessments, then complete the intervention, and finally complete additional questionnaires. One month after completing the intervention, participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires. This study is designed to evaluate the acceptability and initial effectiveness of this intervention and will not include a control group.
